Pat Fitzmaurice· Sep 19, 2025
Fitzmaurice gave his own Week 3 running back rankings, notably placing Jordan Mason as an RB1 at No. 7, keeping Genty on consensus, and fading James Conner and Trevion Henderson; he also said Cam Skattaboo has taken over the Giants backfield with Tyrone Tracy as the No. 2.
“I think there's a good chance Jordan Mason gets twenty or more carries this week.”

Tyrone Tracy Jr. to be 2nd on the depth chart
